I don't know how it's been around the state but I have gotten three calls, lots of literature and one personal visit from the Sanchez campaign, all within the last couple of weeks. They have been working hard but I've not gotten a single call or visit from any other campaign, Rep or Dem.

It's funny that with all that work the polls show Sanchez doing worse than Kirk. Strange things happening but I don't see either race being that close.

I think Zog goes with what his polls show after he factors in his adjustments.... Now what they are and how he determines them, I don't know. He missed some races badly in 2000 and got others fairly close.

The FL call was the result of some bad timing on the media's part and a mistake by VNS in precincts that were sampled/used for the projections. Also the media took some raw data from FL and went with it before VNS corrected it or so the story goes.

Novak said last night the thought Gov. Bush would win and maybe by double digits....

Sanchez has never successfully articulated a reason why anyone should vote for him, other than he's not that evil Rick Perry guy. He started off with attack ads, and he's ended up trying to defend himself from attack ads. He's run a bad campaign.

Kirk has done better, but he's made some mistakes, too. It cost him the lead, right at the time Cornyn finally started buying TV ads. He's done better than I predicted, but he can't successfully run as Republican-Lite in this state. We'll vote for the real thing.
